Spend it all is what I say

I used to back when I was on the dating scene, but not recently. Yes, there was a fair arrangement so as to keep everything equal, but I'm afraid that would be a little to explicit to describe here in detail.

I don't have a sweetie. When I have lived with ladies, we just pooled all income and paid all expenses. I live with my son now, all joint expenses are paid from one credit card account on which we each have a card, and we each pay 1/2 of the bill

We each have our own house, and are financially healthy - so we take turns treating and such. No hard rules or keeping score.

Most of my life I've paid for it all. My current wife is the sole provider and I raised our child.
Having been removed from that I now split costs with a roommate/host.

When I was in living together relationships, we sharede expenses.

You do your best to make sure thigns are pretty even, but you dont' count peenies.

I was pretty much always th emore frugal partner. So my other half seemed to generally spend more, and when the relationships ended, I found I actually had more money, meanign I was spendign more than my fair share, although it was nto so obvious whiel in the relatinship.

My late partner and I were on the exact same page financially. I had a house when we married and paid some 80% of the mortgage. She found a good job and we shared our incomes in one pot. I retired very early but had a small pension. The house was paid off but she was my sugar momma for a while. After moving to the island her income was reduced and after I went on SS I had the higher income. It was my military status that gave us health benefits so I was the prime earner. Even with the income disparity I did a lot of physical things (house bulding/maintenance) and she did her share (cooking/organizing/dealing with people). We had an agreement on financial loyality. If one of us spent more than $400 we had to confirm it with the other party. Giving each other material gifts (which we did not do) meant taking funds from our shared money. I came into some money and wanted to become an after-life member in FFRF ($5,000). I didn't know how she would feel and so waited. It came to my birthday and she told me she wanted to get me this membership level but didn't know how to approach me. We were on the same page and I got the membership. Remember, money is considered the biggest reason for break-ups. For me, mental, emotional, physical and fiscal commonalities are a must for any future relationship!

It just comes natural I suppose
